I's have thought that the last measre of the 1st page, 1st violins could come in on the first beat, on maybe a D for a dotted half, then up to an E before finally coming to that high A...
the A on th next page is nice, but you don't want to be giving it away BEFORE it's time, do you?
Avoid as much as possible giving away your hand in advance when you're doing a build-up of this sort. Don't announce to your audience WHERE the build-up is going.

which means I'd avoid that high A on the flute as well.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
